I also find people will lump you in with the politics they think you share. Personally I have equal disillusion with both sides of the main parties and various of the other small groups but because I will speak up when things seem unjustified or unbalanced to me, and I'm pro Brexit, people think I'm on the right, although I could argue that a true socialist should be Brexit all the way. It seems to me that most people in politics are an insincere bunch of crooks. It's funny though if I say something nice or fair about May or the government I'm considered a raging Tory yet everyone totally missed my saying Corbyn came over well on the One Show the other day. The forum gets more and more like the twilight zone every time I look in.

Ah I did put the 'left'/'right' analogy in inverted commas cos it was just used to fill in for my lack of a better phrase. I had no idea how you voted in the referundum, and I had no idea how you intended on voting in the election. I cant imagine many people identify as 'left' or 'right' on tibb, i was just making a point of it seeming like this side and the other side.
